Does this put things into context?

Between 1996 and federal Fiscal Year 2008, Congress funneled over $1.5 billion dollars (through both federal and state matching funds) to abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.

1. Acorn
When a few cops in one city are caught for corruption, does Congress withdraw funding for all police? That's how ridiculous the current outcry is. Republicans are desperate to gain publicity and now they're biting at any bubble that surfaces, however petty. Neocons kiss the rump of the worst and most corrupt, then turn and deride any help for those in need.
